The dangers 20 be Appreciated from
he success on Tuesday next OF tic Ma
noxE ticket in Virginia cannot possibly
be exaggerated. In the northern States
both parties are to al intents and pur-
poses made mp of white men. and, there
fore. whether the one or the other sue
cceds. the administration that follows IS
one that is. as rule. neither dangerous
nor diseraceful Eut in al the southern
States very different condition OF things
prevails. There is here an element IN
the body polite which does not enter
into its composition IN the northern
States that is, to any rer.lous extent.
We have in Virginia, FOX example, At
this time, not less tns3 one hundred snd
forty thousand negro voters. These voter,
have TO State pride whatever. They
worship the national Government. They
draw no line Of distinction between the
Republican party and the Government
al the United States. They would
"a vote for the abolition o.
all State lines, we take it for granted, ii
commanded to do so by any such Re
publican as JOHN SHERMAN. They are
as gregaricus as sheep. They flock to-
gether and vote together. They natn-
rally like TO have somebody to DO THOR
thinking for them. They would not be
alarmed in the least degree if MALONE,
carrying the election day after to-
morrow, were forthwith TO IN tilute
measures looking to the concentration OF
all power legislative, executive, and Iu-
dieial, in his own bands. They would
stand by him with their whole strength
{ he were to turn out all the judges, all
he policemen, all the justices Of the

public. all the visitors, trustees, direct
ors, and professors in all the towns,
cities, and counties, and in al tAc state
institutions Of every kind 1aay would

The absolute and irresponsible contr.l

not appreciate no. even understand the
responsibilities and duties which rest
ipon them as citizens or as voters.

ills. He also will prove himself to be
riminally negligent who merely fails to
